They are not prematurely cutoff , as the above notice wrongly states, that was the law and if DOL spent more time educating folks including basic math and English maybe more would be working. Also the above graph presumes no one gets a job in the improving economy, for those with desired skills, for those without the skills, likely they will not not get a job until they obtain those skills–so best they go get them–now .
